For scoring well in 30 D level MCQs, diligent preparation is required. D level MCQs are often those demanding bit-more-thinking, manipulation, strong knowledge of formulas, knowledge of unique content from various textbooks, and common-sense and a lot of practice.
The best source for practicing E and M level MCQs is those given at the end of each chapter in sanctioned textbooks, MCQ practice books, tuition study material, etc. For D levels MCQs, no standard source can be identified as there is no limit to how creatively, manipulatively a paper setter can think.
